Where did this blog come from?

We have a great school, and yet we only know a fraction of what happens at it, including the talents and interests of our fellow parents & faculty.  A series of conversations between interested parents and the administration led to this blog as a venue for some of the informal and less urgent messages and information that parents don't NEED but might appreciate. It's a work in progress.  

This site will showcase cool things that our kids are up to (like perhaps some excerpts from November's novels), and also our talented faculty and parent body as well!  We also re-post important messages from the administration, and provide a modicum of "insider" info for those that like that sort of thing but aren't able to or keen to attend meetings.

YOU would help make this great by contributing whatever you think a majority of parents would find interesting or useful.

How do I submit something?
Best would be to send an email to this address with your draft post, ideally with a photo. We will edit for brevity...

What sorts of things would be suitable?

• Great concerts or activities for adults or families
• Especially good educational resources, including websites or Apps
• Information about your family owned-business.  Special attention given to families/businesses who are actively supporting the auction or the school in other ways, but reach out anyway...
• Great photos or short video capturing a great BPC moment (right now we are going by BPC's existing photo-opt out requests)

Is this website visible to the whole wide world?

It does not turn up in search results, but the URL can be shared with other folks.  If we end up wanting to share more photos and videos, we'll put that on a password-protected section.  But for now, this is designed for ease of use.

What is the purpose of this site?

The mission is to support the school to be sustainable, our community to be mutually supportive, our events to be successful, and our parent-owned businesses to thrive.  We might host some mini-fundraisers here, all funds going directly to the school.

Who's in charge?

Evan Specter, Co-chair of Parents' Circle, is the editor, but more folks are getting involved.  All submissions fitting the mission will be accommodated.

Posts are written by the not-omniscient Evan Specter if not otherwise noted, and I take personal responsibility for their content.  I ask that you do me the courtesy of informing me directly if I take a misstep.
